ComradeMolotov

Iabsolutely insist on an immediate Politbureau decision
by telephone about Rudzutak’surgentdispatch
(immediately after the plenum on the trade unions) toGermany:
he is running a temperature and is spitting blood. Clearly,
his TB is getting worse.

Overhere, he won’t be cured and, what is most
important, he won’t be given a strict
regimen.[1]

[1]OnDecember 26, 1921, the Orgbureau of the R.C.P.(B.) C.C.,
in accordance with Lenin’s proposal, recognised the need to send
Y. E. Rudzutak for medical treatment in Germany, and asked
People’s Commissar for Public Health N. A. Semashko to givehis conclusion concerning the place and time of the former’s leave,
and the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs to
expedite his departure. See also this volume, Document 667.
